A mistake was discovered in the objective portion of Lahore Board’s Matric Mathematics exam, leading to unrest among the students, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The mistake, found in question number 10, has raised concerns among students about potential mark deductions.
The error occurred when the examiner included both a ‘blank set’ and a ‘sign’ in the question, contrary to the standard practice of providing only one of these elements.
This deviation from the norm led to confusion among the candidates, making the question difficult to solve.
The issue has sparked a wave of requests from candidates urging the educational board to acknowledge the error. They have appealed that no marks should be deducted due to this oversight.
In response, the board authorities have assured that they will review the error in the question paper.
The board plans to consult with the examiners to reach a decision on whether to deduct or award marks for the erroneous question.
This incident has underscored the importance of paper setting and the impact of such oversights on the students’ performance.
